Still got problem copying files to external disk which I would have thought was one of the simpler things a system should be able to do. I/O is pretty fundamental after all! Error message “The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “DSC_1380.NEF” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)”.
This is RUBBISH!

After the update I transferred Lion back to the main hard drive but still encountered two problems Time machine is stuck in the “Preparing to back-up” and system preferences pane “start up disk” keeps crashing with my CAC card. System preferences was fine for one day but back to the same old problems. Fortunately, I used CC cloner and I am presently re-cloning SNL back to the main hard drive. Again, for almost a year, Lion is banished to the outhouse(external hard drive).

After update ALL my screensavers have disappeared in System Preferences, also when I try to open “Groups & Users” I get this message “Could not load Users & Groups preference pane” I have searched for answers everywhere, with now helpful answers. If someone can help here, pls let know.

Actually after 10.7.4 update, almost *all* of my preferences, System and per Application, got reset. I can’t prove that it’s caused by the 10.7.4 update, but man the timing is suspect. Hope it’s not a contemporaneous virus / malware infection. Anyone else observe similar behavior after a 10.7.4 update?

The update has forced my login background to the original that comes with it, but when I look at the NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor.png file it is the same image that I chose it to be. Gotta figure out where the new image is being sourced from…

Everything seems fine since the update, no changes noticeable for the most part, save the fact that Photoshop CS5 Extended now gives errors about missing parts and is inoperable, needs to be reinstalled. Tried. Tried again. Nothing but errors on the install.

**sigh** now PS CS5 is busted. Don’t recommend the update if you use said program.
